Your hosts
Since 2022, Danielle Baumgartner and Roland Urech welcome you to CAMEL HOUSE.
Two Swiss in Lanzarote
Before we took over CAMEL HOUSE, we lived and worked in the CASAS VOLCÁN in Tahiche, not far from the island's capital, Arrecife. In this ensemble of houses, built by the artist Stipo Pranyko, we created an inspiring and powerful place that attracted many visitors to linger, enjoy and meet each other. We spent over ten years restoring and refining this huge work of art, filling it with life and love. But it wasn't just the colour, materials, shapes and art objects that transformed the CASAS VOLCÁN into this wonderful, unique place – music soon moved in too. Various musicians came and went, concerts took place and beautiful melodies reached every corner of this magical place.
The Camel House looks for a successor
The saying goes that you should leave when it's at its best. Thus, after many years at CASAS VOLCÁN, we felt it was time for something new. When the news reached us that Sir Ernest Hall was looking for a successor to CAMEL HOUSE, it was like a twist of fate. The CASAS VOLCÁN was placed in good hands and we prepared ourselves for the CAMEL HOUSE adventure.
In July 2022, Sir Ernest Hall wrote
The camel house captivated me from the first moment that I saw it. I had no interest in buying the property but the minute I saw the camel house I became passionate to buy it to create a performance space and my instinct was right. It became a magical performance space inspiring audiences and performers.
I am delighted that the new owners are continuing to run the camel house having been enchanted by a performance their before. I am delighted that the camel house will continue under their direction and it continues with all my blessings for a new and exciting future.
– Sir Ernest Hall, Founder of the CAMEL HOUSE
